We’re working with a growing bank looking to strengthen its Corporate and Structured Finance presence across the East Midlands.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced banking or finance professional to help build and grow a portfolio of corporate clients, using their own network to generate new lending opportunities.

They’re open to candidates from Corporate/Leveraged Finance and Structured Finance, but would also consider strong individuals moving across from Debt Advisory, Deal Advisory or Transaction Services.

You’ll need strong technical and financial skills, together with the ability to build relationships and originate new business from your own network.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
